Ihre Selbstverständlichkeit hatte die monarchische Herrschaft spätestens mit der Französischen Revolution verloren. Dennoch blieb sie im 19. Jahrhundert die vorherrschende Staatsform, feierte in neu entstehenden europäischen Staaten sogar fröhliche Urstände. Dies gelang ihr nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil sie den Niederungen tagespolitischer Fragen enthoben wurde und zunehmend mit den nationalen Interessen ihrer Staaten und Gesellschaften verwuchs. Der Sichtbarkeit von Dynast:innen und symbolischen Handlungen kam damit eine immer wichtigere Rolle zu - noch dazu unter den Bedingungen einer explodierenden Medienlandschaft. Jörg Zedler zeigt, wie das Zeremoniell rund um den Tod eines Königs und einer Königin eine bedeutende Funktion bei der Integration der eigenen Gesellschaft, ebenso wie bei der Repräsentation des Landes nach außen erlangte und dass Monarch:innen auch im Tod noch politische Funktionen hatten.

With grim humor and humorous grimness, In Search of the Great Dead engages the great themes of poetry: death and fame. The title poem of this collection records Richard Cecil's quest for the tombs of the famous dead. At first the search leads him on a tour of famous European tombstones-the grave of Chateaubriand in St. Malo, the shared tomb of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas in Pere-Lachaise cemetery in Paris, Yeats's old Celtic cross in Sligo-but gradually it expands into areas where all the tombs have been erased by time or vandalism-the tombs of

What is the 'Tekenu'? What was its function? What are its origins? These are questions upon which Egyptologists have long pondered but have not, until now, produced any major work to provide answers. Previous treatments of the 'Tekenu' largely adopt a selective approach focusing on a specific form. Rarely has the 'Tekenu' been examined profoundly in all its forms or contexts and its possible origins have been commented upon merely in passing. The aim of this book is to provide a provocative examination and interpretation of the 'Tekenu' in an endeavour to proffer plausible answers hitherto eluding scholars. Attested from the Fifth Dynasty until, and including, the Saite Period, the 'Tekenu' is a puzzling icon which is depicted within the funerary scenes in the tombs of some ancient Egyptian nobles. In this work four distinct types of 'Tekenu' are identified and classified and then a Corpus Catalogue is formed. This book will be of interest to the serious student as well as to anyone fascinated by the hidden messages to be revealed in the funerary iconography of ancient Egyptian tombs.

Mourners shake and pull their hair on reliefs and paintings from ancient Egypt. They took part in funerary ceremonies in ancient Egypt, contributing to the dead's resurrection in the afterlife. Hair played a clear role in these rites. In this publication Maria Rosa Valdesogo describes the relation between hair and these rites, and the role hair played in death in ancient Egypt. This book is the publication of her Phd research about the hair in the funerary ceremony of ancient Egypt.
